Marlins released OF Aaron Rowand.

Rowand has looked terrible this spring, batting just .128 (6-for-47) with one extra-base hit and eight strikeouts, so this was an expected move. One wonders if the 34-year-old will call it a career at this point. Thu, Mar 29, 2012 01:00:00 PM

Aaron Rowand went hitless again Friday and is just 1-for-22 for the Marlins this spring.

On the plus side, he did walk once. Rowand is falling out of the mix for a bench job, which would seem to be good news for fellow veteran Austin Kearns. Fri, Mar 16, 2012 03:50:00 PM

Marlins signed OF Aaron Rowand to a minor league contract.

It was first reported by FOXSports.com's Ken Rosenthal. Rowand, 34, batted .233/.274/.347 with four home runs, 21 RBI and a .621 OPS over 351 plate appearances this past season before being released by the Giants in September. His past experience with Ozzie Guillen in Chicago gives him a pretty good chance to win a job as a reserve outfielder during spring training. Mon, Dec 12, 2011 05:59:00 PM

Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com reports that Aaron Rowand's agents have talked to the White Sox about the outfielder returning to Chicago.

Rowand evidently is interested in returning to his old stomping grounds, as his agents already talked to the Phillies but were rebuffed. Rowand might very well be a fit as an extra outfielder with the Sox, but he might have to settle for a minor league deal. Tue, Dec 6, 2011 05:50:00 PM

Fernandez isn't throwing those pitches at full effort yet, but he's getting there. The 22-year-old right-hander has not experienced any setbacks in his recovery from Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery and is currently on track to join the Marlins' rotation around mid-to-late June. He boasts a 2.25 ERA, 0.97 WHIP, and 10.3 K/9 in 224 1/3 career major league innings.
